In my opinion, they put a tad too much pop in their "punk".

But that's just me

They're definitely 'pop punk' but their last few albums weren't bad by any stretch. They had a much more refined sound. I don't think they ever pretended to be Black Flag.

No, they're not posing as a hardcore band. I just think the amount of pop they add takes a lot of the edge away.

I just don't get the same feeling listening to Blink that I get from listening to say, Bad Religion. To me, they found the perfect balance between catchy and punk on Suffer and No Control.

Blink is just too poppy for me.

Bad Religion is amazing. I know what you mean. I don't know if you've listened to Blink's last two albums but they have some surprisingly mature stuff on there. Some of it is much more alternative than pop punk/punk at all.

No, I haven't, but I can keep an open mind. I'll give it a listen sometime.

I would say if you mention your name in a song, you suck.

Off topic, but you should go listen to "Friday the 13th" by a band called Evil Army. Sort of a thrash punk sound I've dug for a while

The dumbest band names are the ones that named their band after drugs.
